  • thank you sir

  • Thank you for this lesson!

  • @wichondo You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

  • thanks much for this wonderful video

  • Wonderful. I am working remembering it all. =) The technical terms throw me off a bit. =) I use it to help me understand.

  • thank you so much you helped me alot

  • This is a very useful lesson for my lessons

  • Good job! ... And yes, in American English there is the rhotic difference but the schwa is the same and an essential key to developing a better English language accent, especially for those languages (e.g., Thai, etc) which places equal value on word stress.

  • actually "er" is the SCHWA sound ANYWHERE, no matter if it's British, American, Australian or Jamaican English. They're always schwa! The only difference is that in American English when there's an "r" close, the schwa receives another sound together, the "r", but it's still schwa!

  • that is between American and British english.

  • words ending in "er" ONLY end in the schwa sound in British english...in fact, its one of the main ways of telling the difference between the two accents. 

  • thank you for this lessons & I hope you'll have more lessons on this subject

  • Comment removed

  • I think I need more exercises with the shwa sound in the spoken English because I didn't understand "there was a call for you"

  • @SergyDijkstra Agreed.
